Fantastic local place to get some low-frills eats and beer! Very friendly staff who accommodated us…read morewithout a hitch. We came here after having been turned away by an Indonesian restaurant that was "full for the night". We are so glad that fate brought us here instead of that Indonesian restaurant!! What were we even thinking anyway -- forget the Indonesian food, get the local specialities!! Ordered the schnitzel as well as the meatballs and both were executed perfectly. Schnitzel was hot and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside -- not overly salty either. Meatballs were juicy and packed with flavor from the minced onions that they had mixed in. The beer (we ordered a Pilsner) was the best that we had tried in all of the Berlin and Dresden restaurants that we visited. I believe it is from some small private brewery affiliated with the restaurant somehow. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right, so definitely order the house beer. Super cozy seating (you'll probably be sharing a table with other guests) and packed all night long but amazing vibes and casual comfort food. Would come back if I ever visit Berlin again!

We tried to go to a nearby Greek place but they were full and kind of rude too. We walked over here and the place was empty at 6:30 pm so a bit worried. No need. The draft Pilsner was very excellent and the food was outstanding and reasonably priced. We got pork schnitzel and meatballs and it was really very tasty. Would recommend!

I had the mixed pork plate with wurst, bacon, (speck) und Schweinebraten and Kassler. My wife enjoyed her salad and helped herself to my selection of meats! My plate came with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes! The food was good and authentic and having the mixed plate is a great way to experience the different ways that pork can be prepared It also has a good selection of beer and wine and the service was quick and friendly!

The food and beer were good, the service was prompt and friendly. Our server spoke very little English, but with my half acceptable German, we were able to get by just fine, and he didn't seem to mind either. Definitely recommended.

I was wrong there, but we walked across the street to this chic brasserie and I knew we would still have a lovely time. It didn't hurt that we were meeting up with German friends so they were able to find out about a special where schnitzel was served with white asparagus. I had a lovely local white Riesling with my meal, and the baked camembert came with a perfectly hot and crisp crust cracking open to amazing gooey cheese inside that paired so well with a dollop of lingonberries. My boo and I split the schnitzel plate, and they even portioned it for two which I found so thoughtful of the staff. The white asparagus, which is rare and painstakingly cultivated, wasn't something I've ever had back in the States so that was definitely special. Never mind that the weather made visiting Sanssouci Palace something of a bust, this will be my best memory of Potsdam until I manage to visit again in the summer!
